---- ALLAN'S PERSPECTIVE ---- The left wing drives me crazy, and the right wing scares the shit out of me!

Allan's Perspective is not recommended for the politically correct, or the overly religious! Some people have opinions, and some have convictions ..., what we offer is Perspective!

They missed the Target, folks!

There is a rumour that Target Stores, after just 18 months here in Canada, (And over 1 BILLION dollars in loses) is going to pull the plug, pull up stakes, and pull out, as in “coitus interruptus!”
Yup, they might pull a fast one …………….., and split!

How’s THIS for bullshit supreme?

Thousand of protesters around the world, including hundreds in some of Canada’s major cities, protested Saturday against Israeli military action in Gaza. Thousands of Pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets of numerous European cities, including London and Paris, to demand an immediate end to the conflict.

During all these protests, NOT ONE WORD WAS MENTIONED ABOUT WHAT STARTED IT ALL, PALESTINIAN MISSILES INTO ISRAEL!

Well, say goodbye to Springhill, Florida, kids!

This small community of 150 was swallowed by a sinkhole over the weekend and nobody has seen, or heard a thing from the residents since!

(There was a report that everyone was staying at the local “Super 8″ out on the highway leading into town, and the Perspective Research Department is looking into this!)

Hey kids, do ya remember stories about a guy stealing panties from a clothers line?
Well, this is almost as good!
Georgia sheriff’s officials say a thief stole the panties from Victoria’s Secret in Augusta Mall shortly before noon Saturday.
The Augusta Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1n3THIv ) reports that security video shows a male entering the store and stuffing the underwear into a large shopping bag. Authorities say he left without paying for the merchandise, valued at $1,900.

Scientists have noticed that humans over the last few hundred years have gotten 1. Taller 2. Fatter 3. Older!
Nothing to do with evolution they say, because there has not been enough time.
Nope!
Evolution takes thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of years.
Instead, it’s a combination of diet and medical advances that have brought about these changes
